Does human creativity map to a specific brain circuit? Can damage to this brain circuit increase creativity? New paper by Isaiah Kletenik Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics out today in JAMA Network Open says answer to both is YES. Paper is open access and great thread below:


A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that different brain regions activated by creative tasks are part of one common brain circuit. Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr…

Excited to present my poster at ACTRIMS: “Network Localization of Multiple Sclerosis Gait Speed Compared to Stroke” 🧠☺️ ➡️ Thanks to Isaiah Kletenik and Michael Fox for the amazing mentorship! 🎉


In a new study, researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital and colleagues discovered a brain circuit for creativity. The study is published in JAMA Network Open. Read more: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr… Michael Fox Isaiah Kletenik

Can brain injury cause the loss of visual imagination? We studied #aphantasia due to brain injury. Lesions were in many different regions but 100% were connected to fusiform imagery node - a region active during visual mental imagery Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics medrxiv.org/content/10.110…



MRI scans are becoming common in the courtroom and show abnormalities in defendants brains. But can any of these abnormalities actually cause #criminal behavior. New paper from Isaiah Kletenik Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics Mass General Brigham Research in says YES. Thread below:


Nice coverage of our recent paper: “White matter disconnection in acquired criminality” in molecularpsychiatry by CU Anschutz Medical Campus Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics news.cuanschutz.edu/news-stories/s…

“Should brain injury factor into how we judge criminal behavior? Causality in science is not defined in the same way as culpability in the eyes of the law,” Kletenik mused. Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics nypost.com/2025/06/27/hea…
